Ann grew exasperated and exclaimed, “Lyndon, have you lost your senses? You are her biological father. She wouldn't exist without you. Shouldn't she repay you for that?"

Lyndon drifted into a daze.

He was indeed Rena's biological father. However, did he truly accomplish his role as a father?

He had failed Reina and, even more so, Rena...

He didn't wish to compel Rena into being his bone marrow donor but he yearned to see her and that child before he died.

He had become a grandfather...

Waylen escorted Rena back to the villa.

As the car came to a halt, he leaned in close and whispered, “Move your belongings on another day, so you won't have to make multiple trips."

Rena nodded, resolving to bring along some clothes.

Waylen delicately touched the steering wheel with his slender fingers and inquired, “When should we remarry?"

Remarry?

Rena gazed at Alexis and uttered softly, "Does our relationship necessitate a marriage as well?"

Waylen smiled.

“If you don't want to be with me, who do you intend to do so with?"

Rena was not fooled.

She gently opened the door, preparing to lift Alexis out of the car.

Waylen murmured softly, “Let me handle it."

Rena raised no objection. Alexis was not light, and it was difficult for her to carry her.

As soon as Waylen lifted Alexis, she stirred from her slumber.

Her drowsy eyes fluttered open, yet she lacked energy, so she rested weakly on her stomach.

Rena playfully tugged Alexis' tiny finger.
